That's why its a developmental league. All of these guys are lacking either in athleticism, instincts, offensive or defensive skills. He has instincts and athleticism and you cant teach those. Hopefully his shooting skills can be developed. Enough, I've used up months of posting quotas.
I see points to both arguments but Lord knows I would love more players on this team that can play defense and also produce on offense but you roll with what ya got. As far as Nate I like the underdogs when watching the G League and he just leaps out as a Spurs type of player I think with the right training and coaching he would fit in nicely with our rebuild.
But in future I think this would be an interesting line up:
PG. White
SG. Murray
SF. Keldon
PF. Nate
C. Luka
Nate is worth a looksie.....
Like I mean, I'd be happy if Renfro did well on a 10-day, but I think folks should be willing to adjust their expectations for how well his defense could translate. Like maybe he would come in and be a dynamo. If the Spurs sign him, I'd hope so. But he could also be a guy whose struggles will just be magnified. He might not get the touches to do any of the good offense and will have his lack of shooting exposed, and his aggressive nature might make him more foul-prone than impactful. Could happen. Certainly bringing a guy like Simmons, who was a bad basketball player in the NBA from wire to wire, doesn't really lead to some of the projections we're seeing. He'd have to be way better than Simmons to help the Spurs.
Any news if Spurs are signing anyone on a 10-day contract? At this point if they haven’t, is it optimistic to note that the rest will be joining soon hopefully by Sat against Pelicans? Or that they will use that spot on a Vet that they they think will be waived?

It begins...
Last night on a loss-
Renfro 10 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals
Woodard 25 pts, 10 rebs, 3 assists, 2 steals
Woodard has been pretty awful on defense, is basically a clone of Keldon on offense, and most importantly, is a Sacramento King.
One thing I have not seen mentioned is that whoever brought the covid to the Spurs not only hurt their chances of making the playoffs but also hurt these Spurs chances of contending for a le. They will be an easier out if Luka and Tre are not on the team. It may only be a Gleague le but it would have given them experience in higher stakes games as well.
What no block shot for Renfro last night?
It’s unlikely that the baby Spurs would have won an Eight team single elimination tournament, even with Tre and Luka. All I wanted was for them to beat those pampered Divas on The Ignite in the last game.
Why do you say that? They had only lost one game and I believe were in 2nd place.
They also came back from double digits almost every time they won. Tournament play would be more intense and focused, and their charmed run would have ended. It’s a single elimination tournament, and I think they would have dropped a game. They just played with fire too many times. It’s not like they were dominant sitting at 6-1.
But unlike the regular NBA, in GLeague they try to showcase every player, while trying to be in striking distance. And still the Spurs were able to come back and win them. I think the style for 48 minutes changes in the playoffs.
He is a King and D has been bad...but it was a strength coming in and will be again at some point when he isn't a focal point on the offense anymore.

Looks like a linebacker
Both Michigan and Austin Spurs game start at 6PM tonight... hmm which one to watch
Looks like Jonathan Kasibabu is playing tonight. The guy the Austin Spurs drafted in the first round. Don't know why he's just joining the team now...
So this Kasibabu guy... they're playing him at C. Wide body, undersized C reminds me of Dejuan Blair.
Ugly basketball... What a difference Luka + Tre make on this team.
